Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

Saw this video the other day. Since height is such a frequent topic on here, I thought I'd share it. Find your height and hear what advantages you have. For instance, the taller you are, the lower your expected lifespan. I had heard some say this was a myth, but it makes sense to me as presented here: The taller you are, the more cells you have, the more likely some mutate, etc. Anyway, maybe it will make some feel better about your height, whatever it is.

 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
